Talking Re: Brake Pad replacement, Fluid renewal and Rear Cylinder replacement.

Thanks for the guide, I've replaced brake pads on other cars before (quite sometime ago) so just needed reassurance that there wasn't anything to different.

Safety 1st!

I've not seen any mention of this in the guide, but eye protection should be used when tugging springs with pliers. A friend of one of my friends apparently lost an eye when needlenosed pliers slipped off the springs.....

Other than that, a good guide. Many thanks

Unhappy Re: Brake Pad replacement, Fluid renewal and Rear Cylinder replacement.

Can anyone help? We're trying to replace our Mk1 Punto rear brake cylinder but can't get the nut off the back that connects the brake line. It's made of really soft metal and has gone round in our spanner What can we do?
Any help most appreciated... we've spent a week on him so far and it's been tricky at every step. The forum's been great.
